ElectropIated Coruses.

The latest method Of disposing of the
dead, and n which is growing into popu-
lar favor, is electroplating. 1t is the appli-
cation of q perfectly even metallic coating
to the surface of the body itself by the
same process as that which produces an
slectrotype plate. The method is briefly
this: The body is washed in alcohol and
sprinkled with fine graphite powder, to in
sure the perfect conduction of electricity.
1t is then placed in a bath Of metallic 30
luton containing a piece of the metal to
be used; to this is attached the positive
pole Of a strong battery; the negative pole
is applied to the corpse, and a fine film of
the metal ct once begins to cover the body
perfectly and evenly. This may be kept
up until the coating attains any desired
thickness. To this process there would
seem no valid objection. In effect, it trans
forms the corpse into a beautiful statue
form, features and even expression being
metically sealed within its metal enclosure,
merely dries up and assumes the aspect of
a mummy. This method obviates many
objections which have been urged against
cremation, and at the anne time meets the
wishes of those whose sentiment, if moth
ing else, incline them to favor the ordinary
way of burial. The feeling of the desc
Grafton of the human form divine, by its
reduction to a handful of ashes, is entirely
done away with, as no rude hand is laid
upon the oncs loved form. No change is
brought about in appearance, except the
face and figure are covered with a shining
veil, through which the familiar Inca
ments appear with all their well-remem-
bered characteristics and sxpyession.-

A somnambuIist,s Feat,

When Mrs. M. A. Nyce and daughter
Emma, of Milford, Pennsylvania, reached
Vincennes by the 0. & NJ. road, the son,
George Nyce, aged ID, was missing. A
passenger had seen George leave the car at
the station, 80 miles east of here. The
train was behind and was trying to make
up time. The gentleman became uneasy
and searched the rear cars for the bow.
and, failing to find him, ran through the
train, shouting, "Boy lost, boy lost!s
The train was Immediately stopped and
run back three or four miles searching for
the boy, but he could not be found. The
train then came on to Washington.
where an east-bound express was met. and
the crew of the train was informed of
what had happened. Three miles from
Clark station the train overlook Young

station. When he was taken on the train
he said: 81 want to telegraph mother

Mike was astonished; and listened alone in

who was rather bashful, and began:

"The divil ye have!" said Mike, which
caused a momentary litter; but the young

and, as ususl, got a big bundle of an.
swers, He got fairly well tired read
ing the various creditable things the
young aspirants for the place had to
say Of themselves, but finally he
struck a letter that really rested him.
It was written on a very much soiled
and crumpled piece of paper that had
never been very white, and ran about
as follows:
"I'm II years old. I hain't got nc
father nor muther. I'm an orfan, and
I've got to hustel. 1t beats bel how

Unpleasant Habits.

One of the painfully unpleasant habits
some young me fall into is the use of rude,
offensive or foul talk on public highways
With what purpose they degrade theil
manhood in such a way is hard to under
stand, except upon the supposition that
they have no character to damage or des
troy and are aware of the fact. Loud
words, foul words and blasphemy cause
passers by, who have any sense or dscency,
to shrink. The utterers of these gratuit.
ously offensive sounds are often unconsci.

SPIDER webs a. Barometers.

SVANAOh ~ As"A
One of tho simplest and at the same
time one of the most effective barometers is
a spiders web. When there is prospect
of rain or wind the spider shortsns the fla
msnts from which its web is suspended and
weather is variable. If the insect ~elongates
its threads it is q sign Of fine, calm weather,
the duration of which may be judged of by
the length to which the threads are let out.
If the spider remains inactive, il is a sign
of rain, but if, on the contrary, it keeps at
work during a rain, the latter will not last
long, and will he followed by fine weather.
Other observations have taught that the
spider makes changes in its web every
twenty-fou, hours, and that if such changes
are made in the evening, just before sunset,
the night will be clear and beautiful.

American, is determined to possess .
cloak made from the breasts of the birds
of Paradise. These birds are sold at 80
shillings each; the breast is about four
inches broad and about six inches long
at the greatest length and nearly heart
shaped; the upper portion is about an
inch and a half deep and is like the finest
plush, in color q deep seal brown; the
color shades off below to q pinky terra
Gotta. About five hundred birds will be
necessary to furnish enough for the cloak,
and to secure them Mrs. Mackay has
dispatched two skillful marksmen direct
to New Guinea, and they are now en-
gagged in the wholesale slaughter. The
mantle will be costly, but the work of
destruction will be SO great that it is
hoped few imitators will found. Sydney

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1887-04-26

DR.. Banks (Messrs. E. F. Bishop and A. T.
Atkinson) were satisfactorily filled. The
farce was thoroughly enjoyable, and highly
appreciated by the audience. So good
representation can we'll bear repetition.
A word of praise must be given to those
who were not on the stage. Mr.. Berger gave
a capital selection of music, and heightened
the effect of the tableaux by playing appro-
pirate airs. Mr.. Parmelee, who kindly lent
and managed the calcium light, did much
toward the scenic effect, especially in the
Beatrice Cenci tableau; Mr.. Swanzy most
ably assisted the stage manager during the
tableaux and Mr.. j. F. Brown during the
farce. Great credit is also due to Mrs. ). d.
Strong and Mr.. Tavernier for much valuable
assistance in posing and arranging, and to
the latter also for a pretty bit of scene paint
ing at the last moment, which materially i'm
proved the setting of the first tableau.
The two entertainments in aid of the
British Benevolent Society have been per-
feet success, and show what high class work
can be done by our local amateurs.

Mrs. williams, Lecture.

On Friday evening last, at the Library and
Reading Room Association, Mrs. Florence
Williams, of San Francisco, delivered
lecture on " The Man, William Shakespeare"
We have had entertainments in our city that
would make more people laugh, screaming
farces more calculated to make one digest
his breakfast better, but none in our opinion
that were so well adopted to highly cnlti-
waited and thinking audience. Had the
ability of the lecturer and the novel tratment
of the theme been better known beforehand,
we have no doubt that the audience would
have been twice or three times as large as it
was.
1t was a lecture on Shakespeare, and more
than that. 1t was an able exposition-semi-
scientifc-semi-philo of the develop
ment of a most wonderful character, both
moral and intellectual.
Shakespeare had none of the advantages
of education now SO happily within the
reach of all youth-that thorough training in
the properties and relations of simple things
preparatory to the understanding of the
more difficult. At the age of one and
twenty, he went TO London. He is at first
poet, and not dramtist-youthlike. His
first dramas are purely initiative and con-
ventional, not by any means to be compared
with those of his greatest contemporary
NARROW. He finds the stage corrupt and
disgusting, and he writes for tho times, not
yet knowing his powers-all know that We
are not what we are to become. Had Shake
speare now died, say at the age of thirty,
what adifferent verdict would have been his
from what it is. His growing aud strength
ening powers now begin to assert themselves,
and he feels confidence, as shown by his
plays. He is determined to be independent,
financially and intellectually. The next
literary period shows still greater change.
His great tragedies are shot forth from his
eurcharged brain, ending i'll that despairing
T1mon Of Athens, an epitome of them all.
His next plays-call th5m what you may
show that he has conqured his environment,
come out victorious, and not like the fool
Timon become so weak as TO be conquered.
Mrs. Williams spoke for more than an
hour, entirely extempore, in a rich, sonorous
tone of voice, fluent and graceful. 1t is very
difficult to give in condensed form any
thing of tuat well-rounded whole, so charac-
terestic OF her lecture;
If, as we understand is the case, Mrs.
Williams lectures again in Honolulu, and If
this first one be an earnest of those that
follow then thinking people of Honolulu
have rich treat before them, of which, no
doubt, they will not be slow to avail them
selves.
